      Should We Really Bail Out the Big Three Automakers with $73.20 Per Hour Labor?
      If what is said by the author is true, then the companies with non-competitive costs will fail regardless of a bailout; a bailout only delays the inevitable.

      There are too many car makers anyway.. Let the car buyers decide who they want to survive, not live in a sentimental dream.

      Friday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
      I sent my absentee ballot in already and voted for Green or Libertarian and for only my Democrat Congressman Mr. Earl Blumenaurer who has consistently voted against the wars, against the bail outs, etc. My own gut sense is we are in for a very long and deep depression situation, and there is no government or combination of governments that can prevent this from happening. The lows we see now, will look high in another six months as more businesses fail, jobs become scarce worldwide, and trade slows.

      A World Without Shorts
      My prediction: No matter what the government does, it can't make bankrupt companies solvent. The dollar is going to sink sharply, gold will soar. Where does our government which is already O/D to the max keep coming up with hundreds of billions more for bailouts??? I guess the printing presses are working overtime??

      The Evolution of the Bear
      It is one bubble bursting after another, and the bear is only begnning to growl. I don't believe the financials have come close to bottoming, as yet. This is DEFLATION happening before our eyes, while we worry about inflation.

      A Closer Look at the Dollar Rally
      I always appreciate Michael's analysis and read them regularly. He is right, more often than wrong. Yet, something in me says this is all being manipulated, and is temporary, albeit it may go on for some time. As long as the US Govt is running the gargantuan deficits and the trade deficit remain in hundred of billions, I can't see the dollar remaining strong for too long. I, however, living Asia and converting dollars to local currency enjoy the higher dollor.

      The US Dollar Elevator is Going Up!
      I could not disagree more. Whoever wrote this must be living in Disneyland. Maybe exports are up 9%, but the deficits of govt and trade are so far out of whack that even 100% export increase will not save the USD.

      Historic Financial Collapse Underway?
      I agree with you 1000000%... Keep it up and I hope some few listen and heed your warnings. The USD is a dead currency, only time is separating it from the crematorium.

      Mid-Year Report: Is a Summer Turn-around Still Possible?
      I do not agree that oil is rising due to speculation. There is certainly the law or supply and demand in effect; Anyone who can't see this must be blind. Also, there are so many trillions of USD sitting in far away places, earning nothing and seeing their buying power go down moment by moment. Is it not wiser to buy something you can use, whether it be iron, manganese, oil, wood, cement, anything is better than the USD

      Big Lots, Wal-Mart and Costco: 3 Musketeers of the Pooring of America
      I like COSTCO.. Considered by me the best managed of the big box retailers. Never had a bad experience with COSTCO and I feel certain they will thrive as the US economy worsens. I don't know BIG LOTS, but from the description above they sound as though they are doing very well. No matter how bad things get, people have to eat, wear clothes and buy personal necessities. These big three are geared for this.

      Five Tactics to Beat a Bear Market
      I agree with the DIVIDEND point in particular. I like the Canadian energy trusts.

      High-Yield Canadian Royalty Trusts: What's the Catch?
      I have most of my money in these trusts, as I appreciate the monthly income and the relative stability of the shares. I also expect the energy trusts will be showing great earnings as they start selling oil and gas at the current prices, not those or one or more years ago. I love the DRIP plan of PGH, which has given me a 25% plus return in the last 12 months.

      Investors at Risk of Losing Everything
      I am quite sure there is no cure for the USA problems, which are the cumulative effects of decades of wrong policy that has favored the multi-nationals moving all their production offshore.

      Preparing for the Fall
      Can't argue with this.. Albeit I remain long the C$ trust which are paying me nicely whether the shares go up or down, and being mostly energy related, I expect to see dividend increasing as they sign new supply contracts at currently market prices.
